Birmingham played an errorless
game yesterday and defeated the
Browns with ease. Black was put In
10 pitch for the home team, and the
boys from the Magic City had no
trouble In gsuging his delivery. They
rot ON TO his curves from the start
and sent them In all directions. But
the defeat was not altogether due to
Blacks pitching. Orotty Was Sta
toned at short, and played, perhaps,
the rottenest game Of his life. Five
errors are charged to him,
and all were made at critical
moments and assisted the visitors In
making ct least Ave runs. McAleer
mldudged ny, In left field and Doyle
dropped q ay and both errors gave the
visitors runs.
There is something wrong with the
players, and 1t bshooves the manage
ment to find out at once what the
trouble Is. The Browns can play bet
ter bali than they did yesterday and
